I'm a Steve Double U too!

I worked a chr. We had 8 of those beaties.

Having done a canal holiday I can tell you it isn't a great sound when it is all you hear all day. Out in the countryside it would be nice to hear the birds and sounds of nature or even someone at the front asking you a question without having to raise their voice. However on a canal boat all you can hear is the relentless chug of a diesel engine for hour after hour. I vowed I wouldn't do another canal boat holiday until I could rent an electric powered boat. One day I hope that our canals will be free of this dreadful noise and once again return to the quiet places they would have been in the days of horse drawn barges.

Back in the early 1980’s, I was a DJ on my college radio station in California. We used cart decks for station IDs, jingles, public service announcements and station promotional spots. The ones we had were not ITC, but a different make (I never noticed the manufacturer of them). In order to get a passing grade for being on air staff, we had to produce three promotional or PSA spots per quarter which we recorded onto carts. It was a rather tedious process to record and mix the spots on reel to reel tape, then copy to cart. We had a supply of carts in production room to choose from, so if I had found a cart that had a longer recording time, I would record my spot multiple times on a given cart so it didn’t have to fast forward so much after playing. I actually found a set of these ITC 99b decks on eBay that are in working order and even came with the connector cables between the two units. The seller even made a hardcopy of user manual and put in a nice binder for it. And, I also bought the teeshirt through Redbubble here in the US.

The biggest port in uk its my home town steve

This is super cool

Wouah, your are amazing. I have one MIni disc Denon, work fine on player, but what he wants to UTOC write, it fails. Real good set up. I am looking for a cartridge reccord machine by the way.

Great setup! I would love to see a video where you talk more about your custom mixer project, it looks cool and sounds great! Not a lot of homemade mixers out there.

WOW! Usually when you're just checking some stuff out there is a real lapse in quality but Holy Crap that is a tremendously awesome sound! Fantastic set up although I wish I could buy you an airplane hanger to set up in . . . you deserve it.

I have the Sony broadcast minidisk recorders

You cant have enough minidisc players offcourse. Change that 1 or 2 not working are huge. At least thats my experience. Had multiple md players. All broke down. Now im oldskool burning cds. Bought a load of those lightscribes (350). And as player a denon dcd 720ae. Didnt had a single problem anymore. Must say really like those small discs, for recording im just gonna stick to cds.

Nice place! I love minidiscs too, but I only have two portable units (a sharp model and a Hi-MD Sony) and like 50 discs.

Sun's out gun's out! What a sexy punter <3

Best punter in town from what I'm told!

What a handsome tour guide 😍😍

Hey Steve, do you still have the original tapes of this?

Hook of Holland still has two pairs of lights, one red pair on the north bank (actually right by the Stena terminal) and a white pair on the south bank.

In the US, cart machines were used for songs too. Fun fact: when PR&E imported (under their brand) the Sonifex machines in the US, they failed because the motor was not rated to play for that duration and would overheat.

HI Steve, what cable do you use between the recording amp and the cart machine? I'm looking for one.

Nice one. Do you happen to know where I can get the interconnect cable from the recording amplifier (the unit with VU meters) to the playback machine? Looking all over but haven't found it. I haven't seen them on Ebay. I wonder if they are a standard cable of sorts?

What a nice wake up!

Wow, the sound of those four Merlin engines, was so reassuring for the people of the home front but must have been terrifying for the unfortunate people who suffered its destructive consequences! Thank you for sharing 👍

Such a mighty sound.

Hi Steve, I have 2 of these machines but only one slot works properly on each one. Could I pay you to look at these and fix them if you can?

Do you repair NAB cart machines for a fee? I have quite a few but many do not work and I can't find anyone to fix them, although many have tried.

Hi, Any experience with replacing the motor bearing on the later motors, ITC series one? (though they are all very similar) How exactly is it pulled off? any into appreciate. Thanks

I liked the RP series they was so reliable.

Is there a cycle path anywhere winding onto the top walkway..cheers

It was great fun and a great honour to be asked to film this great ensemble.

Very enjoyable video! 👍 There has been a documentary about Waverley on German TV and in it it was mentioned that the ship does indeed have a rudder and its small size is considered a bit of a design flaw, because the speed above which it is effective is said to be relatively high.

I've been looking for years for an nab cart machine

Well presented.

Thank you for this! I’ve been toying with the idea of walking over but was concerned about the noise and the size of the path. I think you’ve persuaded me to give it a go!

The anchorage blocks are hollow inside

Hi Steve... can you still get servo boards for the 99B.... incidentally I got some vintage buses too... 4 Bristol RE and a tiger....

Are these type of machines available to buy in the UK?

Great fun.....what a crew.

Missile launcher! United States Navy could convert these container ships and tankers into vertical missile launchers, carrying everything from, cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, air to air missiles, 20 mm phalanx cannons, torpedoes, conventional and non-conventional missiles or combination of both and these ships could carry a ton of these! What a potent and formidable adversary on the seven seas! Wow! That would be incredible!

I'm working on a Schulmerich Magnabell. I replaced the rubber tension wheel and now it won't stop playing after the song ends. If your not familiar, it is a continuous play cart. Any advice on what may be wrong?

Hi, Steve. I'm from Brazil and I really like your videos

Nice video!

The trains you showed were Javelin trains which only operate in UK They have a top speed of 140mph. The Eurostars do go up to 160mph and have a top speed of 186mph which I think they can now run at in UK on some sections of the line. The new Eurostar trains are faster, up to 200mph in France. Good of you to report the open gate You are right you would never hear one of these trains in time to get off the track. That free ticket would be very nice, if only.

Ah well at least you got to see her You could of gone to Clacton and not seen anything. If you ever get a chance to go on her take it. The engine room is fully open to the public and has one of the largest most powerful steam engines still working

The original Medway Bridge? I would have thought that was the one the Romans built downriver!

Brings back memories. I worked at one station that served as a network head-end for several stations and we had three of these side by side, and three SP decks (single decks). The three triple decks were used to send commercials to three time zones, while the SP decks were used for music only. It was wild. You'd have to load the EAST spots in deck one, the CENTRAL spots in deck two and the WEST spots in deck three; then pray all the spots timed out right for the rejoin to music. They finally gave up the network feed and we got to use the triple decks all for music and spots (all local by that time). Fun memories. The relays are also used for SECondary and TERtiary tones to trigger other things. We used SEC tones to trigger the next deck, like if you had three songs in a row, you put a sec tone at the end of the song where you wanted the next song to start. Ive also seen the TERtiary tones used to alert the board operator that there was ten seconds left on the currently playing spot or song. Those tones were laid on the CUE track--which had the 1K tone that stopped the cart once it had played. The TERtiary tone was 150Hz and the TERtiary tone was 8KHz, I think. Thanks for the video and memories!

ELSA was Erase Locate Splice Azimuth. It controls the functions of erasing the cart, setting the record head azimuth for optimum performance, and locating the splice. Would love to see a demo of the erase, azimuth adjustment and locating splice on a blank cart. Thanks for the memories!

I've went their 2 weeks ago and the eurostars are so fast, I can feel vibration on the ground when they pass

Great video, very informative for anyone who's sailed from Harwich. It's such a shame the ferries to Holland are the only ones left nowadays, nice ferries though they are.

The solenoid is likely binding. I just worked on a 1987 version of this and 2 of the three solenoid plungers were binding and would not release. had to sand about 1/2" and polish and wax them and now they work perfectly.
